'13 Surly

Surly's Cross Check is one of the most versatile bikes going. Finely crafted of TIG-welded chromoly tubing with a lugged chromoly fork and all the braze-ons to run racks, fenders and bags, this fine machine handles like a champ and offers vibration damping and compliance for top comfort, too. You get nice components stem to stern, from the quality Shimano/Alex wheels with grippy Ritchey tires and the precision-shifting Andel/Shimano 18-speed drivetrain, to the powerful Tektro brakes and choice WTB seat and quality Kalloy stem, bar and seatpost. Whether you ride it for fun and fitness, long-distance adventure or back and forth to work, the Cross Check will be your new best friend.
